I'm an over the road truck driver. I work with Happy Ending No Kill Cat Shelter in Milwaukee, WI USA. They sometimes get cats that are feral (wild) or just misunderstood. I take these cats with me in my truck and socialize them. I'm not going to let a little cat win no matter how bloody I get. It's a small space so we get along or die trying!

Are you worn out? Tired of relationships that you give more then get? Do you want someone there just for you? Someone that won't criticize your life? So the dishes aren't done, dust everywhere and your not sure where the vacuum is? Consider a cat! They are low maintenance. Food and a clean litter box (5 minutes work tops) is all they require. A cat returns love! Not unconditional love, but true love all the same! The condition is you must love and treat them with kindness! Treat an animal like crap and they will be crap!
CURRENT CAT IN THE TRUCK IS NONE!

CARMEN and CALYPSO
Happy Endings shelter received some medical grants and with some successful fund raising and reduced medical costs decided to look further into their medical issues and see if Calypso would come around. That is where I come in. I took the girls for a couple months and got them friendlier. They got dentals and poop samples tested and blood work. It was discovered that they had a parasite and that was causing them off and on diarrhea. We went through hell together but the blood stops after a while and the bites healed so they were on there way. The last problem was Carmen's runny nose. She was taken to a specialist and scoped. Tissue samples were taken and tested and she has some permanent medical issue. She gets a little liquid medicine every 3 days and more if there's a flare up. In the truck, their crap was firm and no sneezing or runny noses. They loved being pet and hanging out. However now that they are back at the shelter they are so stressed the diarrhea is back. They are still friendly but standoffish. I had them with me for almost a year. They are so used to a small area I think if someone takes them and keeps them in a small area for a little while and goes slow with them they will be someones best friends. My wife and I are even paying their adoption fees.
